They must be expecting something all this hype for a solar maximum that happens on a regular basis,

I think the solar flares will only effect electrical technology as long as they continue, and there should be no underlying effects after they stop so i doubt itll permantly effect technology.
That said i wish people would stop using technology and Actually live they're lives rather than wasting most of it either staring at a T.V or Updating twitter.
However there is tecnology that should be kept such as revolutionary hospital equipment etc
it could come "100 years away or just 100 days", but an Australian astronomer says the space community is betting on the sooner scenario rather than the latter.

NASA knows what is going on, but like the rest of the system, they more than likely feel that explaining something to the general public that would have repercussions in this world from the general public that would be disastrous to the "NOW" as the flares will have in the "FUTURE". So, nothing is said, and the public is kept unaware.

Yeah, like the movie Knowing when they only told the public of the solar flare when things started going wrong and the sky started looking weird then everyone started to panic and go round looting before the flare hit.
Only in that movie the experts didn't really know themselves until it was too late and there wasn't much time to do anything about it.
